Waking up as early as 5am, I set out of Ipaja and I head to Lekki to drop off copies of the IVs for a couple of folks. FD's office was my 1st point of call.

I was lucky to have met his PA in the office, but it didnt turn out so sweet jare...hez nt gonna be free for my Friday launch... :-(

buh dreams come true, don't they? we'l c hw tins wil turn out eventually.

Spent a couple of hours in Lekki pursuing other things....mobil...VI...Ikoyi....and by 11:40 or so, I was back home.

Feels good to be back in school...at least I finally get to rest after a long stressful weekend outside.

Quite a no of folks are nt graduating and its rly hard to know who is who men..me that I just keep tellin evry1 congrats! I dunno jare

Sales of my limited pre-launch copies should happen on Friday...m lookin at a 24hr sales plan....if its possible to clear that no of copies within 24hrs?....God sees it all....lemme just play my part and he'll do this!

I'm gettin some nice deals from some folks here men...I'm just prayin these CU-preneurs don't chicken out wen they experiene the climate out there....cos it's strictly for the brave!

God bless the dude that is gettin me banner stands 4 d launch

As the CU journey comes to an end every moment is worth enjoying..

Every experience is worth the memory

Every happiness is worth the laughter

I'm not so excited that this journey is ending though

But the glory of the next pahse wipes my tears away

The colour and the honour makes my heart leap...

...ure gonna def gonna be hearing it all first from me as FizAkanee speaks!

Simi left a comment on my 1st post of dis blog yday n dat reawakened me 2 d fact that I've stopd back 2 shorthand.

My day started in Church and ther service was quite interesting. I was up to 1 or 2 silly tins so I wasnt in 4 d sermon. D distraction eded up nt payin off....silly me!

I was moved to tears at different points of the day and 2 or 3 drops mananged to escape my teary eyes...I get moved to tears too easily these days. The moment I just think of anytin dat has 2 do wit time, I jst get all emotional.
When I think of wher I'm comin from and when I try 2 imagine d life ahead...it rolls off freely.

So my bro shared this testimony in church and it was quite touching, he talkd about his hustling days and I could remember those moments...tryin times bt all of dat is history now.

As service ended I had 1 or 2 tins 2 discuss wit him so talked abt em in a hurry since he had 2 leave 4 an appointment, and as he drove off in his new car I tried 2 smile and b4 I knew it, I had tears rollin down my cheeks....it was on auto response...lol
Ahh!! dreams come true...u knw I could rmbr times wen we wld talk abt our future rides, d mansions, d jets n al of those tins wen ther was no kobo in d pocket....d castles we built in d air....all dreams!! Bt c wat God is doin nw, we r livin d dream

iN lAS Gidi AGAiN!

I got out of school this morning heading out to Silverbird galleria with the intent of presenting my book at the Silverbird bookjam after I received a call from the organiser yesterday to that effect. The bookjam holds every last Saturday of every month, it's basically book reading, interaction with the authors, book signing and raffle draw.

On getting there the guy convinced me otherwise; it was gonna be very difficult and almost impossible for him to give me a slot. But I didn't mind though because he gave a better offer, a scriptural verse humorously comes to mind right now-"for your shame you shall receive double"

So for missing out of this one, he's giving me two outings in return

July30 - Abuja

July31 - Lagos

I'll keep u guys posted.

Well, I had a nice time....1st book reading I'm attending....coincidentally ran into that FD's journalist sef. Seyi Oguntokun was in attendance n some other big boys in d world of arts n literature.

I tried tracking Tosyn Bucknor @ Terra, but by the time we got there - after bookjam ended - she was already out. We had a nice time at Terra, we were able to get a good view of the hall and all. July9 will be mega!!!!

We spent about 30mins admiring books at their bookstore....d books Nigerians are printing now are world class!!! Maddddddd concepts, quality print!

The Terra kulture guy that gave me discounts the other time even bought me a book from their stands...he just believes in me! He told me it sounded like a joke when he told the board that I paid for hall space for the launch of a book that is not yet in print!

I can just imagine how dramatic it would have sounded but u know "we walk not by sight but by faith"

The printer is done printing, all he's doing now is allowing the paper to dry up before binding and by Wednesday, I collect!

God keeps surprising me each day, delivering a unique love gift to my doorsteps, giving me cause to burst forth into jubilations and rejoicing.

Got home 8:30pm and my plate of Amala n Ewedu soup was waiting for me....that kitchen will know I'm around in these next couple of days.....eat endlessly! Lol

In las gidi again!

Today might as well just qualify as the best day of my life!

God touched me!

The impartation service was out of this world, the teaching so powerful, the prayers like no other....it was power packed!

I've never been this sure and confident about my success in life like I am right now. God's word came strong and I left that service today with a strong conviction that I will be the one to bring honour to my Alma mata, to reflect the vision of this great institution, so watch out.....watch out.......God just started with me.

I put a call through to a brother's friend today and as I he heard it was me...his eyes opened up and he remembers he has a platform for me.

As I speak to u now, I am already getting set to talk about my book in the time slot the organisers are giving me at this month's edition of BookJam @ Silverbird galleria. This is the best so far for me....ideally, I'm supposed to have printed my book and enroll earlier before I can be put up on the programmer, but God's favour!!! I am seriously grateful to God for this platform

The organiser has requested a meeting with me before the programme kicks off and I can imagine what our conversation will be like....he will just luv me again like the ohers have!

So if ure in las gidi 2mrw u will do well by stopping by to check me out

LAS GIDI AGAIN!!!

After my early departure from school through one funny route Asiwaju led us through, las gidi welcomed us with the early morning showers.

I made a quick stop over at the Aboki's kiosk to get a shaving stick and I did a quick clean up on the street...Mrs Akanni has zero-tolerance for beards and I didn't want to spoil her Sunday. Well, within 90mins of my departure from Otta I got to church just when the sermon started and the pastor was preching on ermmm... ehnn...**scratch head**...I didn't take notes, but he was talking about service to God sha, one captivating caption like this.

Made my way home as soon as first service ended only to discover mom was off to an undisclosed location, and as dad was getting ready for his service I treated myself to a nice breakfast..I know I picked 3 pieces from the stew pot sha...free food!

After a short nap, I drove out to chill with a friend that just traveled in..reunion made sense sha! We chilled in a restaurant for hours...peppered meat, peppered chicken..I must gain weight oh!

Evening was spent with family.

I was having one sweet dream like that oh but it was slowly interrupted by a melody in my room, mom couldn't contain her excitement that she had to wake me up with her song of thanksgiving. After 2 more songs it was showers of blessings!!! She prayed, prayed, and prayed, and I was blessed, blessed, blessed and blessed!

Had a business meeting with my creditors...printing should start Tuesday!

Had my first face-to-face discussion with dad about the book and even though it looked like my plans were strong enough at first, it ended on a very good note..if u have any idea about how thorough my dad could be u might understand my excitement right now. I just passed a major test!

I have to be back to Otta by 7am tomorrow morning..God help me!

Still dunno wats up wit project defense that they keep postponing..God help me!

Happy Sunday to you all, hope u have a great week ahead!!!

coming soon

I'm having the best time of my life outside school.

Fresh doors opening

I felt overdressed with my suit and all as I was leaving school, knowing so well that I wasn't doing it the cab way and that it was a wet day in town. Ash was definitely the wrong colour of trouser to pick for such a journey, but something in me wouldn't just let go...did I regret it or not? Read my blog tomorrow

It was a most refreshing time at Fela Durotoye's office, his PR guy can never ever forget me again..I'm sure of that, our moment was...
When I always tell people don't be shy to sell yourself, it's not pride they wont listen...I put that to practice again today and the outcome? Read my blog tomorrow

My Terrakulture trip left me believing more in page 80 of my book where I wrote
"The biggest things of life come on the simplest platform"


I was in UNILAG this night, and men....can we really call CU a university? I could remember one of our professors referring to the university as the universe + city i.e. a city where the entire universe is represented. We sure dont have that diversity in CU, we don't have those distractions, it's just a different ball game! I will talk more on that later...

I learnt tooooooo much of real life lessons today, I'll fill you guys in as soon as I return to school....limited internet time here...lol
